Step by step explanation:

  • Let A be on a circle woth centre O and B be the point on the circle with O' as centre. And AB be the tangent to both circles touching at A and B.

  • Let the two circles touch at C.

  • Let the tangent at C meet AB at N.
  • Now NA and NT are tangents to the the circle with centre O andtherefore NA= NB. Sothetriangle NAC is isosceles and angles NAC = NCA = x say.
  • By similar consideration NB and NT are tangents from N to circle with centre O'. So triangle NBC is isosceles with NB=NC and therefore, angles NBC = NCB = y say.
  • Therefore in triangle ABC, angles A+B+C = x + y + (x+y) = 180
  • Or 2(x+y) =180.
  • x+y = 180/2 = 90.
  • Therefore,  
  • x+y = angle ACB =180/2 =90 degree.
